The Body Project is a body image and body acceptance program for adolescents and young women.

This evidence-based program meets for one hour weekly for 4-weeks. The typical group size is 8-12 young women.

The Body Project is a dissonance-based body-acceptance program designed to help high school girls and college-age women resist cultural pressures to conform to the appearance ideal standards of female beauty and reduce their pursuit of unrealistic bodies.

"Bodies and Beauty" is a dissonance-based body-acceptance program designed to help adult women examine their internalized core beliefs around bodies, appearance, and beauty. Through group discussion, written exercises and activities, and even brief take-home challenges, this program is designed to empower women to resist cultural pressures to conform to the appearance ideal standards of female beauty and reduce their pursuit of unhealthy or obsessive means to attain unrealistic bodies. "Bodies and Beauty" is adapted from a body image program, the "Body Project", that has been supported by more research than any other body image program and has been found to reduce the onset of eating disorders. "Bodies and Beauty" has been designed to create lasting and deep shifts in self-perception and self-image.

“I brought Kortney in to speak to our chemical plant’s workforce of 114 employees broken into two separate events for our company’s health promotional campaign towards total worker health and healthy eating. Kortney did a great job engaging our diverse audience from operators to administrative employees and contractors. She encouraged participation from our crowd that can become resistant to health-geared topics. Kortney delivered the information via a new approach that was innovative and appealing. Kortney instilled energy, knowledge, and passion into the subject matter. Her unique style to addressing eating habits kept the talk interesting and thought-provoking. She was thorough and well-prepared from the initiation of our working agreement to the outreach survey she organized in advance, getting to know our employees (her audience) to address their needs in her presentation. I received a lot of feedback from our employees and contractors, who appreciated completing the survey beforehand to ensure the presentation addressed their needs. Rather than repeat the same old tired nutrition rhetoric of “eat your vegetables and don’t eat sugar”, she addressed mindfulness and eating habits in an immediately applicable and practical way. I would definitely recommend Kortney as a speaker or presenter to other businesses or organizations.”

WANT TO TALK?

Hi I’m Kortney, I help women like you who are constantly trying to control your food (only to find yourself in a shame spiral of binge eating), who live in fear of gaining weight, or who struggle with the constant pursuit of fat loss, uncover your confidence to embrace the skin you’re in and crush the diet mentality forever!

WORDS OF PRAISE

I have learned SO MUCH during the past 16 months and I am SO happy to see that we have successfully managed to build a really solid foundation for a healthy relationship with food and with my body. The journey is still to be continued, but I do really consider what we have done in the past 16 months as a HUGE accomplishment! I can’t thank Kortney enough for her guidance and for how much knowledge she’s shared with me, and thank her for taking me on this coaching and “Intuitive Eating” journey! Even now I really enjoy going to train, and don’t go through the crazy phases of “I should go train, but I don’t feel like going, etc.” like I used to in the past with Crossfit and the guilt associated with it. It has put so many things into perspective!!!
